January Carmine and February FeelUnique beauty boxes + Blog Anniversary (sort of)

If you’re not sure what a beauty box is click here for a quick explanation.

Is it me or is Carmine running a little bit behind? Anyhoo, here’s what’s inside:

*Balance Me Radiance Face Oil – I need some extra hydration at the moment so this came in handy
*Eldora D135 eyelashes – not really my thing with the rhinestones but I might use them for a night out sometime
*Korres Wilde Rose moisturizer – to be honest I don’t think my skin is very happy with me changing a moisturizer every month (because of new samples in the beauty boxes). I’m gonna put that one to the side for now.
*WestLab Bath Salts – I don’t remember the last time I had a bath! I think it’s time to catch up on that one :)
*Eyeko Fat Eye Stick in Old Gold – me like-y! It’s like a dirty gold/moldy green colour – sounds gross I know but I love this type of shades :D


Feel Unique box is all about priming the skin before the big date because it’s the month of loooooove. Every month should be a month of love if you ask me, but hey ho! Yes, I am one of the people that re not so big on Valentine’s Day. Although it is nice to get a card (such a hypocrite, me) :D

*Nuxe Multi Usage Dry Oil – I am not sure I get this – is it oil or is it not? How oil can be dry and would you want to apply something dry on yourself?
*Decleor Natural Exfoliating Cream –always up for trying deeply cleansing products
*Philip Kingsley Elasticizer – I like the sound of intensive super-moisturizing treatment for all hair types
*Leighton Denny Nail Polish in Diamond Ivory – nude nail polish is welcome at any time
*Jean Paul Gaultier KokoRico – meah… I never use my perfume samples for some reason
*Elemis Exotic Lime and Ginger Body Wash – I have heard so many good things about Elemis. Looking forward to trying this.

Beauty Box Talk:

So this is my last beauty box post for the time being. I am unsubscribing from them for now.
The idea of beauty boxes is really awesome and I enjoyed them so much for the past few months. I loved having that surprise when opening them and trying products I would normally never think of buying or couldn’t afford. But I have accumulated so much stuff now that I cannot possibly use up with all the new bits arriving each month. Another thing is that I need to focus on saving money at the moment so I’d rather spend that £23 on something I really want or need.
I might get tempted again at some point in the future and subscribe again but for now – bye bye beauty boxes.

My BeautyFul World’s 1^st Birthday:

I started blogging in February 2011. My blog then was called Sylwia’s Foundations and I didn’t have enough confidence/energy/commitment to blog regularly. I have pulled my act together and started blogging properly at the end of November last year. I changed the name of my glog to My BeautyFul World and I am trying to improve it each time I post since then. Since I decided it should be my own relaxed approach and I stopped thinking it's not good enough, it became really enjoyable to me. I can only hope it is enjoyable to you – my lovely readers.
Oh! But that’s not what I was going to write about. I really consider my blog 2 ½ months old because that’s when I really got into it. I have left the old content for me to see how much it changed. So basically my point is… should I treat it as its Birthday or not really? I am not sure.
While I’m at the blogging topic I wanted to ask you guys something. Is my writing fairly ok? I mean, is there a lot of typos or sentences that don’t make sense? English is my second language and I am still learning to write/speak and I am quite conscious of it.


UH OH UH OH OH OH!!!! I forgot about THE most important thing! I am going hairdressers tomorrow!!! Yeeeeeey :) :) :) Insert ---> 'happy jump'

Hope your Monday isn’t too bad and melting snow isn't too much of a pain!

Snow Day

I am probably the only person in the whole of England that’s not surprised by the snow. After all it is winter and it was snowing every year for the last few years. Why is everyone so shocked?

Also why is everyone panicking? I mean trains aren’t running, taxis are not taking any bookings, people say they're snowed in. It has been one day and it’s already melting. I wish people would stop panicking because it is really not that bad. At least not yet!

Saying all that and I did kinda join in. As advised stayed at home and had a snow day. I decided it’s going to be mostly lazy day with few bits thrown in. So this is what I did today:

1) Major hydration. I’ve applied a tone of body butter on myself and my body soaked it all up within seconds! It really was thirsty :) Sudocrem went on eczema patch on my arm. I really panicked when noticed it! Never ever had it before! Hope it will leave me alone.
I treated my face to a hydrating face mask and some deeply hydrating moisturizer :)

2) I had some fun in the garden… Meet Jerry! He was always little bit of an outsider due to his floppy celery nose.

3) I played Angry Birds :D Finished second level :D

4) Depoted some eyeshadows. More details about it soon!

5) Organized and labeled my beauty boxes. They turned out to be very handy. My nail polish organization sounds like separating the laundry :)

Sorry about the quality of this. My camera was going flash craaazy

*Eyelashes
*Big smaples
*Nail Polish - brights, darks, glitter
*Nail Polish - reds, purples, nudes

*Small samples
*Bits :) (back to mac, some muslin cloths etc)


6) Finished “Look at me” book. Ok, so I didn’t finished it yet but will get onto that after I publish this post :D

What did you guys do on a snow day? Anything fun? I hope none of you were stuck anywhere!

Feel Unique January Beauty Box

Hi everybody!

I am a little bit disappointed with my box this month. I don't mind it being all skin care but what i don't like is that I got two anti-wrinkle products. I have tried Lulu's time bomb I got in November Carmine box and it did not work for me. I don't think my skin needs anti-wrinkle cream as of yet and I don't want to use it just for the sake of it. I am excited to try other products from this "New Year, New You" themed box.

Content:

• Lierac Extreme age-defense firming care - my friend Janet can expect a little gift from me :)
• Lierac wrinkle smoother - this goes to Janet too :)
• GreenPeople Make-up remover and cleanser - it will be good to see if it can beat my Bioderma at removing eye make-up
• Caudalie Nourishing Body Lotion - I have got way too many body lotions at the momment but I really liked Caudalie face cream so I'm glad i can try this body lotion
• Phyto Express Conditioner - my hair are in desperate need of some good conditioning and I've heard great things about Phyto
• Dead Sea Magik Salt Scrub - always good to do a bit of scrubbing!
  
  

What do you guys think about this months feel unique box? Any of you are subscribed to some kind of a beauty box?

Dose of randommness:

• I am putting myself on a shopping ban!
• You can expect a lot of reviews and make-up looks, less hauls. I need to use the stuff I have got cause it is getting out of control
• I had an awesome weekend! Me and my friends went for my birthday night out! It was in December but I celebrate it in January cause of the Christmas. It felt sooo good to throw some shapes on the dance floor :)
• Scratchy (my cat) sleeps in weirdest positions possible. He looks like he broke all of his legs and a neck in order to be comfortable :)

Feel Unique December Beauty Box

Finally got it! It seems like I have been waiting forever for it. My box was shipped on the 8th of December and went missing in the post. I just received it today! I'm sure by now my postman thinks I'm a total weirdo because I have been staring at him every day trying to see if he carries a parcel for me. The wait is over and I can share content of my box with you guys.
Drums please :) I did actually do a little drum improvisation before I opened my package :)

 Content:

• Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau De Toilette 25ml - good size and smells lovely
• Nails Inc Oxford Circus - not a fan of baby pink but might look nice on the toe nails
• Figs & Rouge Lip, Face and Body Balm - I love this type of all in one products and girl can never have enough lip balms :)
• Bed Head Sugar Dust - I've wanted to try this out for a while now so very excited!
• Clarisonic Hydro Cleanser - I do not own a Clarisonic brush but will try this out with muslin cloth
• Living Nature Cleanser, Toner, Day cream - I have heard many good things about products with manuka so I'm curious to try this out

What do you think my lovelies? I think it's a very good box :)
